Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

California's largest state park at roughly 600,000 acres, Silver Tier certified by DarkSky International in 2018. The park interior is Bortle 2, with light domes from San Diego, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles visible on the horizon but not significantly affecting the overhead sky. The Colorado Desert landscape is flat and open, giving unobstructed 360-degree views. The park is most famous for its wildflower blooms in late February and March, which coincide with some of the clearest and darkest nights of the year. The Font's Point area, accessible by dirt road, is the most remote and darkest section of the park. Borrego Springs, the small community at the center of the park, is itself a certified dark sky community with its own lighting ordinance.
